Infinite words over infinite alphabets serve as models of the temporal development of the allocation and (re-)use of resources over linear time. We approach omega-languages over infinite alphabets in the setting of nominal sets, and study…

Transformer language models encode the notion of word order using positional information. Most commonly, this positional information is represented by absolute position embeddings (APEs), that are learned from the pretraining data. However,…

Given an infinite word ${\bf w}$ on a finite alphabet, an immediate question arises:~can we understand the frequency of letters in ${\bf w}$\,? For words that are the fixed points of substitutions, the answer to this question is often `yes'…

Recurrent models have been dominating the field of neural machine translation (NMT) for the past few years. Transformers \citep{vaswani2017attention}, have radically changed it by proposing a novel architecture that relies on a feed-forward…

An important theorem in classical complexity theory is that LOGLOGSPACE=REG, i.e. that languages decidable with double-logarithmic space bound are regular. We consider a transfinite analogue of this theorem. To this end, we introduce…

The Dumont differential system on the Jacobi elliptic functions was introduced by Dumont (Math Comp, 1979, 33: 1293--1297) and was extensively studied by Dumont, Viennot, Flajolet and so on. In this paper, we first present a labeling scheme…

The Thue-Morse set $\mathcal{T}$ is the set of those non-negative integers whose binary expansions have an even number of $1$. The name of this set comes from the fact that its characteristic sequence is given by the famous Thue-Morse word…

In this report proofs are presented for a method for abstracting continuous dynamical systems by timed automata. The method is based on partitioning the state space of dynamical systems with invariant sets, which form cells representing…

Modern programmable digital signal processing relies on floating-point numbers for their ease of use. Fixed-point number formats have the potential to save resources and improve execution time, but realising this potential burdens the…

In this work, we investigate the positional encoding methods used in language pre-training (e.g., BERT) and identify several problems in the existing formulations. First, we show that in the absolute positional encoding, the addition…

We study word series and extended word series, classes of formal series for the analysis of some dynamical systems and their discretizations. These series are similar to but more compact than B-series. They may be composed among themselves…

Symbolic automata are finite state automata that support potentially infinite alphabets, such as the set of rational numbers, generally applied to regular expressions/languages over finite words. In symbolic automata (or automata modulo…

Many words are ambiguous in terms of their part of speech (POS). However, when a word appears in a text, this ambiguity is generally much reduced. Disambiguating POS involves using context to reduce the number of POS associated with words,…
